(Finding Calvin)

*December 20th, 1941*

*2:25 pm*

*Charlotte's Room*

Cynthia sat in Charlotte's room after walking with Anya, and the girls discussed their plans regarding Calvin.

"Sorry for the unexpected arrival. I didn't expect to run into Anya during my walk, but should we visit Calvin tomorrow?" Cynthia asked Charlotte curiously while her friend nodded with great interest as she began to speak.

"That would be wonderful. If Calvin is leaving in two days then we should pay him a visit tomorrow." Charlotte responded with a smile while she looked over to see Nancy nodding with support.

"I'm down, and it can be something minor like small talk since we don't want to take up too much of Calvin's time." Nancy chimed into the conversation and this made Cynthia smile joyfully.

"Wonderful! I know this will make Anya more at peace, and I know Calvin needs it as well." Cynthia responded with a smile while looking over to see Anya sitting by the window with uncertainty; however, she was in a better mood.

"I hope Calvin's parents will let us visit. I know that they probably.." Anya responded with confusion and uncertainty before quickly being met with Cynthia placing her hand on her shoulder.

"Anya, it's okay. We'll just surprise Calvin, and besides! I'm sure they'll understand that his friends want to see him before he goes with the army, right?" Cynthia advised Anya with a smile as this brought reassurance to the girl.

"Yeah, that sounds like a plan, and we should invite Emma and the others as well. I don't want them to feel left out." Anya responded while turning over to look at her friend as she waited for a response.

"Of course. I want to ensure that Calvin gets a wonderful farewell outing. Even if he doesn't want us to. We're still gonna show up." Cynthia responded to Anya before giving her a thumbs up which made Anya smile back.

After hearing this, Nancy would get up from the bed with an enthusiastic smile and prepare herself to say something.

"Alright, let's get the ball rolling! We don't want to waste any more time, let's prepare to see Calvin!" Nancy spoke to her friends cheerfully as she and her friends shared a warm smile.

*Miller Manor*

*3:14 pm*

Judith sat in her bed with great boredom as she pondered on why Calvin had been quiet for the past hours.

"Calvin hasn't called me today. He usually calls me at this hour to tell me about his day, I hope he's okay.." Judith spoke quietly to herself as she let out a sigh before getting out of bed to leave her room.

Judith reached for the door, walked out of her room, and headed downstairs to the living room area where she would see Alice setting the family mail on the table.

"Good Afternoon, Alice. How is your day going so far?" Judith greeted the young maid while walking over to sit on the couch across from Alice.

"Oh, Good Afternoon, Judith, and I'm doing good. You seem a little down, anything okay? Alice responded politely while walking over to sit next to Judith as she waited for a response.

Judith looked at Alice and began to answer the question.

"I'm doing okay, it's just Calvin has been quiet recently. I talked to Anya the other day about it and she told me the same thing. I hope it's not anything too serious.." Judith responded with a smile despite feeling mediocre which made Alice feel worried.

"How terrible. I hope Calvin talks to you and Anya soon. I just hope he's not…" Alice responded with a worried tone as Judith got up from the couch.

"It seems so. I know Calvin. He's probably gotten his letter from the army. He could have told me.." Judith responded to Alice once more as she quickly walked toward the hangar to grab her winter clothes.

"Wait, where are you heading off to? The limo driver is on Christmas vacation while your parents are busy." Alice asked her friend curiously while waiting for an answer from her.

"I'm off to see Calvin, and don't worry, I can manage. Whenever I put my mind into something, I always get what I want." Judith responded with a smile before waving Alice goodbye as she closed the door behind her.

Alice stood alone in the living room as she sighed to herself. "I hope Judith can make it in time.." Alice thought to herself as she continued to think about the ongoing situation.

*Jackson Private Academy*

*4:10 pm*

One hour passed since Judith departed from her home, and she was fully intent on looking for Calvin.

"Alright. That boy should be around here. I know he's not at home, so I bet he's decided to crash here…" Judith spoke to herself quietly before entering the academy to find her friend.

She walked across the quad area before reaching the door that led to the boy's dorm area.

Judith reached for the door to open it; however, it was locked much to her disappointment.

"Damn it. How am I going to get in now?" Judith whispered to herself in annoyance while sighing to herself as she looked around for any other entrances.

"There's gotta be a way inside the dorm. I just know it." Judith spoke to herself once more while beginning to search the area for any sort of entrance.

This action would be watched by Emma as she was confused by the unexpected appearance of Judith.

"Judith, what brings you here? It's been a while.." Emma greeted Judith in a rather nervous voice which surprised the girl as she jumped.

"E-Emma?! You scared me! I didn't know you stayed here during winter vacation.." Judith responded in a surprised voice while Emma nodded before speaking.

"Y-Yeah, I usually stay here during this time, but more importantly, why were you looking around the boy's dorm?" Emma asked Judith with a hint of nervousness.

Emma knew Judith changed her ways due to Charlotte telling her; however, the bad memories and trauma that she had to endure due to Judith were still present.

"I see, and I'm looking for Calvin, did you happen to see him?" Judith asked Emma with curiosity yet eagerness in her voice as she hoped for a nod, but; however, Emma shook her head in denial.

"I haven't…I-I did hear from Charlotte not too long ago that he may have gotten his letter.." Emma responded while looking down which made Judith feel even more sad.

"Oh, I see. But thanks for letting me know…" Judith responded in a somber voice while looking up in the sky to see snow falling from the sky before looking back at Emma.

"Of course, and I'll be going now, have a nice day." Emma responded to Judith with a smile before turning around to walk away while Judith watched.

"Heh, I'm looking at the person I hurt and yet, I can't even apologize for what I've done. Either I'm too nervous or I'm still stubborn…" Judith thought to herself before sighing to herself as she began to speak.

"Emma, wait. I have something to tell you.." Judith called out to Emma as she saw the girl stopping in her tracks to turn around to face Judith.

"Sure, anything.." Emma responded with curiosity while waiting for a response.

"Emma, I'm sorry for everything. I'm sorry for treating you like trash. I'm sorry for burning your diary, and I'm sorry for calling you such horrible things. It was cruel and wrong of me to do so. I hope I can make things right…" Judith spoke to Emma with small tears in her eyes as she apologized for everything that she's done.

"I'm a horrible person, and I know I can't ever forget that. I hope that I can do anything to make it right. I'm sorry from the bottom of my heart…" Judith apologized once more as she slightly sobbed before collapsing to her knees.

This was seen by Emma, who started to tear up as well, and she quickly walked and hugged Judith.

"I forgive you, and I heard you are trying to better yourself, and that's wonderful. I also know that what you've done was horrible; however, just know that I hold no grudges against you…" Emma responded while hugging Judith tightly.

Both girls would embrace each other for a few more moments before they would release each other from the hug.

"T-Thank you. Sorry if it was out of the blue, I know I was looking for Calvin, but I saw you, and well, you know.." Judith spoke to Emma while chuckling to herself which made Emma chuckle back.

"No worries, and let's head over to Charlotte's home, okay? We're all going to discuss a way to visit Calvin, and I believe the next bus should take us directly there." Emma responded to Judith with a warm smile that would make her smile back.

"Wonderful, and I truly want to see Calvin for the final time before he leaves." Judith responded to Emma with a warm smile as she and Emma began to make their way toward the exit of the academy.

*Wright Manor*

Calvin, who wasn't even at the academy in the first place, was lying on his bed as he had a serious look on his face.

"Damn, I can't see myself looking at Anya and Judith's faces when I leave in two days. I know both girls love me, well, I don't know about Anya but I know Judith loves me romantically so seeing her face will crush me.." Calvin thought to himself while closing his eyes to not see Judith, but Anya and her beautiful smile.

This would cause Calvin to think about all of the times he's spent with Anya from their first encounter in Central Park all the way to their latest encounter, and this made the boy quickly jolt up.

"Anya! I-I.." Calvin spoke to himself in shock as he slowly knew who his true love might be.

Will Calvin find the courage to speak to Anya?!
